With the code change to the 2012 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC); Code section 315.5 - Equalized skimmers are now prohibited.
Due to the Entrapment risk and safety nature of this change and still seeing equalized skimmer installations in the field we will be adding the RES Plumbing – Pool inspection back to any pool permitted on or after the effective date of this notice.
Please notify any contractors you may have installing your pool skimmers of this change / notice. If you have any questions please contact the Fayette County Department of Building Safety.
